  1. quite a few birdies in a row across the board for the horns just now...up to an 11 stroke lead.

    there are four teams under par in the austin regional (which is prettty stacked).  there are 2 in athens, 3 in louisville, 3 in stanford, and 6 in myrtle beach.  meanwhile, there are 11 teams in the pullman under par.

  2. she started breaking throughout...they had her outright resenting everyone the minute she showed up in the north where she wasn't embraced as a liberator.  then jon told her what was up with him being a targ.  she watched her number 1 chick get beheaded right in front of her for no reason right after her baby dragon was murdered.  varys betrayed her and plotted to assassinate her.  they visually morphed her into a crazy, flowers in the attic character and then, in one last hail mary to make sense of it all, she put the penis on the pedestal and tries to embrace love and when jon rejects her...

    "it's fear, then."

    massacre.  the crazy was murmuring under the surface the whole time.  think about how it all went down with the dothraki chicks in seasons 1 and 2.

  3. freaking toffees man...

    you're welcome, everyone.

    against top 6 in the spring, 2-2 draw against spurs, 4-0 thrashing of united, 1-0 win against arsenal, 2-0 win against chelsea, 0-0 critical draw against liverpool (city needs to send us some terrorist/chinese state money), lose 0-2 to city.

    meanwhile, get our asses beat by shitty southampton and millwall.

    whatevs.

  4. I have always wondered which most fans would prefer...league title or UCL trophy.  I personally have always put more emphasis on UCL title but have heard a lot of people say they would rather win domestic league.  I realize that there are perhaps some unique circumstances with Liverpool's conspicuous lack of domestic titles over the last couple of decades relative to their perceived stature but still curious...

    Yeah, "off-the-beaten-path" is relative.  Mainly I meant not looking at London, Paris, or Italy.  Alps vs Amsterdam... I realize they are nothing alike, just two separate places each with their own qualities my kids have shown interest in.  Hiking in the Alps would be amazing.  We do some backpacking, mountain biking, etc.. back home but I doubt we'd fit that in over there.  But they'd enjoy the mountains.  I'm just not sure what else we'd occupy our time with after a morning hike. 

    the pursuit of the other swiss "mountains?"

    you're with a 9 year old and a 14 year old...what did you have in mind?  like i said, it would probably make sense to split it up between the alps and a spot like vienna or salzburg for the variability.  however, if you want to do smaller towns in france, then there are a zillion options and that is totally different.

    i don't know what you mean by "fit in over there" but i will say a lot of the hikes will be too much for a 9 year old.  here are some pics from my last hiking trip over there.

  6. just fyi, there are going to be plenty of crowds in the swiss alps (and everywhere else) in the summer.  so you're desire to avoid people is going to have to extend much farther "off the beaten path" than amsterdam or the swiss alps. lol

    that said, the swiss alps are incredible...strongly recommend the berner oberland and hq'ing out of interlaken.  hikes starting out of lauterbrunnen, grindelwald, etc... are incredible and all are accessible by short train rides from interlaken.

    that said, outside of luzern, while there are a ton of old towns, they aren't anything like amsterdam that you described the 14 year old enjoying.  it is incredible natural beauty and outdoorsy-ness. 

    if you want the "old towns, cobblestones, architecture, cafes, etc... " aspect of it in addition to outdoors/hiking like switzerland, it is a quick trip over to salzburg and vienna...

    Your guitar probably isn’t hanging low enough. Lengthen that strap about 9 inches and you should have it no problem

    I knew that was the issue. 

  8. doesn't appear to be a lot of ambient fans on this site...but just in case.  threw this together on monday night...still tinkering and haven't finished mixing and mastering.  curious if anyone can spot the chord progression from the voices.

     

  9. look, at the end of the day, i just need one of you fuckers to explain to me how to go from anything to a B and from anything to a Cm without taking 20 minutes to get there and without cheating with power chords.  FUCK!

    I can't stand Barcelona, they get away with EVERYTHING. I know, RM too, but not when we play Barcelona. Everyone is too much in love with Messi to realize how fucking shit everyone around him is.

    dude...

    I didn't listen to the first two, just wanted to hear your original stuff . . . nothing stood out until "Piano and Cello Sketch".  While there's not much in the way of a robust cello part there, the piano composition is quite nice.  I would like to hear that classical style integrated with some of the loops and whatnot, maybe take things in a different direction.

    I like "Charlotte's Beat" . . . it could also probably stand a bit more variety, but the tonality and groove work for me.

    I can't comment on the mixes, since I'm on horrible earbuds.

    Good job . . . keep bringing it!

    thx for feedback, jj.  while the first two aren't mine, they were completely from scratch on the recreation from ear and i find it incredibly helpful for trying to learn to properly mix and master since one has such a direct reference track.  i worked on the first one quite a bit longer than any of the others.

    Interesting timing.. .I'm just about to finish the legal paperwork on starting 2 publishing companies... they should be good to go by Monday.
    I also have 3 liturgical pieces done which are going to be performed over the next 3-6 months.  I don't know if anyone wants to see notation here as well as sound files, but the first piece will be done (and recorded visually) within the next 3 months, then I'll put it on here.  I also have other stuff.. I'll put 'em up once I get the publishing companies going  in a week or so.
    
    It's been a pretty busy spring for me getting back into it... I'll put it all on the other thread when I get to it.  FWIW, I was a music composition major in college, and added history in grad school, which is how I ended up teaching a bit of both at UT.  I haven't forgotten about the other thread, just have been working on these compositions the past few months.  Moar soon. 

    for sure, put up sound files.  would love to hear.  arvo part is one of my larger influences.

  14. feel like we are missing a thread where composition and music made by surly posters can go (someone tell me if i'm wrong and there is one)...

    over the last couple of months, gotten back into music production from a hobby perspective.  i used to tool around back in college and right after but it has been a while.  unfortunately, no real formal training or anything but still enjoy doing it.  so in terms of tools...

    daw: logic pro x;  keyboard/midi controllers: korg kronos & akai mkp249;  audio interface: scarlett;  condensor mic: akg,  controller: mackey 16 control unit;  a few vst plugins including serum and zebra for synths, various spitfire audio libraries (mostly strings/orchestral), a couple of native instruments vst's like battery 4 for drums, nerve for a step editor.  izotope's neutron 2 for mixing and ozone 8 for home mastering using a wide variety of reference tracks.  live instruments are carlo lamberti violin and fender stratocaster.

    so, just getting back up on the horse...made a few tracks of varying styles just messing around that obviously still need some work.  hoping it will get others to share some of their stuff as well.

    first two aren't original but slight recompositions of max richter songs (one he used for a ballet, the other for scoring the show the leftovers).  the others are just random, original sketches of melodies and a little bit of delving into electronic/beats.  anyway, listen or don't...it's all over the map (would love any technical feedback from some of you studio pros on mix/mastering).  but the guitar thread has me hoping that some of you guys that are not just hobbyists will share some of your stuff.
